About this deal

The vast majority of motorcycles use a chain to carry drive from the output of the gearbox to the rear wheel. Sure, there are shaft-driven bikes – notably BMWs – as well as belt-driven examples but the humble chain is by far the easiest and most reliable when it comes to moving torque to the rear wheel. The most popular chain alignment tool among our customers - Profi CAT-Line- is now available in a smaller (12mm) and lighter version. The line laser “Profi SE-CAT-Line” is an ingenious and very precise tool, to control the adjusted chain alignment in a matter of seconds. I take a different approach, and it is fraught with possible inaccuracies. But, I line it up best I can, then, with the bike rear wheel off the ground, spin the rear wheel several times around. Bei meiner Werkstatt durfte ich den Kettenfluchttester bereits in Aktion sehen und war sehr begeistert. All of these methods work...and all have their own unique pitfalls and potential for error. I'm like everybody else--I do the best I can to get the wheel parallel to the chain line, but the proof of alignment for me is to go for a ride.

Ensure laser is pointing at the floor. Place the two batteries provided in the space behind the laser. Negative terminal of batteries to connect with laser spring. Step 2: Turn the laser on and face towards the closet part of the chain or belt. Ensure the laser is centralised.It's true that if the front wheel is not pointing straight ahead the method will produce the results Kiwi described. But if the bike was built in proper alignment from the factory the method described will be extremely close. The index card doesn't suppress anything that I can see. It's just an easy way to line up the front wheel with the long axis of the frame. If you can come up with a better way to do it, then use that method before taking the measurements between the rods. The laser light is visible in a line over the entire chain length and enables a simple and fast visualisation. For belt drive, two belt markings (included in the scope of delivery) are attached to the toothed belt. The SE-CAT-Line is ingeniously suitable for this application, because both belt markings can be illuminated at the same time and thus it is visible if the rear wheel axle is correctly positioned. The perfectly positioned motorcycle rear wheel axle ensures optimized driving dynamics, more safety and more driving pleasure. Widen the arms on the Laser Monkey outwards by twisting the adjuster to allow enough space to fit over your chain or belt.

It doesn’t matter what make or model your bike is or whether it’s chain or belt-driven, the Laser Monkey provides accurate alignment on all motorcycles. They are for the most part. There's some minor deviation but not much. Basically, make sure your chain is clean and in usable condition first. This tool from Laser will be invaluable when it comes to compressing the ends of a new chain together to slot the new link in. It sits inside two links and tightens by hand to bring the links close enough together so that the new link can be inserted into the open ends of each.This is another process that you may be able to achieve using normal pliers or by hand but again, it’s the right tool for the job and acts as a third hand – always useful in the garage or the workshop.

If your bike runs straight and you don't have to use body lean to keep the bike running in a line, you're tire is prolly as straight as it needs to be.

The Laser Monkey can be coupled perfectly with the Chain Monkey for precise and fast chain tension and wheel alignment in one easy step.

I dont know about the mentionned straight edge method previously mentionned, but i found an easy one with a 3' edge.

When the front wheel is pointing straight ahead, use a tape measure placed near the outer end of the rods to measure the distance from one rod to the other. When they're the same, your wheels are aligned. You're actually measuring the parallelism of the front and rear axles, but in practice that is the same thing as measuring the alignment of the front and rear wheels. Poor road conditions, hitting an object (such as a nasty pothole) and excessive tyre wear are just a few examples of how rear wheels can become misaligned, and manually adjusting this each time can be incredibly time-consuming. I tried the long straightedge method (one guy used long flourescent light tubes), the string method ( SportRyder's Wheel Alignment Method), and the chain alignment tool method (see the MotionPro tool) . The first two are an incredible pain in the rear, and the alignment tools are difficult to visually assess if you're getting the chain truly aligned. Furthermore, the string and straightedge methods simply aren't practical on my bike -- and others -- because either the side stand or the center stand get in the way.
